Chapter 215 The grass and trees are still in the air

After passing the ferry, the carriage walked among the green hills and trees. Sui'er sometimes lifts the curtain to look out, the weather is warmer, there are many trees at the foot of the mountain and there are still many pedestrians, to the grass grows, it is already sparsely populated, occasionally see a few passers-by, but also often stop, it can be seen that the climb is very hard.

At the foot of a high mountain, Sui'er and Liu Zhao got out of the car and looked up at the top of the mountain, under the clear sky like a blue sea, the snow-capped mountains were towering and towering, like a jade dragon leaping and undulating. The sun shining like gold dust on it, the kind of brilliant and sacred nobility, the kind of whiteness that seems to hang down from the sky, people can't help but hold their breath and revere it.

For some reason, Sui'er suddenly had an impulse to go to the top of the mountain to have a look, and she wanted to experience the feeling of overlooking the world. She took Liu Zhao's hand and said, "Instead of looking up for life, it is better to take a look in person." ”

She asked Chu Lu to wrap the silver-gray mink fur cloak, and took a dark purple cloak to put on Liu Zhao. He actually looked good when he wore such a dark purple to black color, and he looked more and more magnificent, as if coming from the clouds. Liu Zhao held her hand with one hand, and tied the sable cloak for her with the other, the tip of the sable has clusters of silver-gray, from a distance, it is much lighter than the color on Liu Zhao's body, but it is a reflection of each other. On the side, Chu Lu, Li Xia and others were also dressed, but Zuo Tianqi said: "Niangniang's body is good, can such a mountain be climbed?" The minister's meaning, climb to the inaccessible place, and then come down, the mountain is covered with ice and snow, and it is also extremely difficult to walk.

Sui'er put on the hood, only to feel that the cold wind was biting, and her body was already trembling slightly, so she leaned next to Liu Zhao and said with a smile: "I am also a momentary competitiveness, this mountain is so high, I am afraid that it is really inaccessible, and we also leave footprints in that inaccessible place, and let future generations see it." Our footprint.

Liu Zhao smiled: "You're in good spirits, I'm just afraid that someone has always been the first to get there!" But General Zuo is right, your body is still weak, don't be strong. If you feel unwell, let's come down. ”

Sui'er also smiled, "That's fine, it can also be seen that we are not high and low." ”

The mountain is climbing higher and higher, although Sui'er and Liu Zhao are young. After all, he was pampered and pampered, and he didn't suffer much, and he was only halfway up to the board, and he was already sweating profusely and panting from exhaustion. Halfway up the mountain, there is almost no road. There was no sign of fresh snow. On the road ahead, there are a few pairs of footprints winding up, and the footprints are clear.

By this time, it was already late. However, the ice and snow on the mountain are cold, but there are also pines and cypresses standing upright, and the frost and snow accumulate on the branches, like thousands of trees and pear blossoms blooming. Spectacular. I can see the houses and markets at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and the people are lively. The prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the drunken gold fan, the red dust is luxurious, just like the clouds in the sky, which is intoxicating.

Seeing the sunset over the long river, intoxicated by the landscape, the beautiful world is around him, and the mountains and rivers in the vast world can almost be held in his hands, and he can't help but stir in his mind. Suddenly gave birth to a luxurious ambition of "holding the country in the palm of your hand".

Sui'er sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Sure enough, there are so many delicate rivers and mountains, and the heroes of the world are also bent over for this, although I am a little woman." May I pour out for it. Sui'er now understands that the emperor has the weight of the responsibility of the world, and the burden of wealth from all over the world is heavy. But Sui'er still wants to congratulate Your Majesty, there are so many delicate rivers and mountains! ”

Liu Zhao stroked her cold red cheeks and said with a smile: "Why are you happy to be like this?" Let the heroes and heroes of the world bend their waists, and your mind is no less than that of a man. ”

Sui'er smiled and said, "The gentleman sees this." Don't feel the rise and fall of the world. I'm a woman, and it's the same. ”

Liu Zhao looked into the distance, and suddenly became proud, "The so-called man should be like this, the world is in hand, and he is not in vain for a man's life." I often envy the scene of galloping on the battlefield and fighting bloodily, and if there is another war, I also want to experience the battlefield in person. ”

The coldness of ice and snow is on Sui'er's heart, and it also covers Liu Zhao's complexion. He is a prince who grew up in the court since he was a child, although he also died nine times in his life, but he did not have the feat of the ancestors' bloody battles in the field, and he could only look forward to a temporary war to achieve the ambition of a man. Sui'er smiled: "Your Majesty, it's better to have peace in the world." It is common sense in the world that if you join for a long time, you must divide for a long time. The Han Dynasty pacified the world, in order not to continue to annex some weak tribes around it and strengthen itself, but to make the world peaceful, and the people had enough food and clothing, and developed in peace. If today's prosperity is not the work of peace? ”

Liu Zhao groaned slightly, "Sui'er is right, I really shouldn't look forward to the war anymore, at that time in the court, Su An laughed at us without Dou Xian, there are no more available generals, and I can't sleep day and night for this." ”

Sui'er stared into his eyes, and had understood for a long time that the Han Dynasty had always attached importance to governing the country with literature and restricting the power of generals to lead troops. At this moment, there are more literati than military generals in the country, dare to ask the country, who would rather dare to serve on the battlefield again? I can only bury my head in reading, and take the Tao from the text.

In this way, Liu Zhao is worried, and there is a source of reason.

Sui'er said: "Your Majesty, the concubines thought that the court could open martial arts, encourage the people to practice martial arts, and they could enter the military without any martial arts. ”

Li Xia said: "Niangniang's suggestion is excellent, Your Majesty, do you still remember Gan Yingke that day?" He is now very good in the Ban Chao Army, if it were not for the guidance of Li He back then, he would not have been able to achieve this achievement. If both civil and military can enter the military, isn't it the way to make the country prosperous? ”

Liu Zhao was overjoyed and said: "After I went back, I issued a decree to the world and set up martial arts, which can be taken by both civil and military officials. ”

Chu Lu didn't understand anything, just looked around with his eyes, and suddenly pointed to the sky and said: "The sun is about to set, and it's so cold on the mountain, can Niangniang's body stand it?" It's better to go back early. ”

It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and Sui'er and Chulu rarely walk, which is even more difficult. Helpless, Li Xia had to carry Sui'er on his back again, Zuo Tianqi helped Liu Zhao, dragged and towed, and finally reached the bottom of the mountain.

When I arrived at the bottom of the mountain, I saw that the imperial doctor was wandering around the car, and Zhou Rong also appeared next to the car, with a look of urgency.

Liu Zhao asked, "Guard Zhou, why did you get to the front?" ”

The imperial doctor said: "The minister saw that the emperor had not returned for a long time, the six gods had no owner, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he sent a signal, and the Zhou guards came to check." ”

Sui'er said apologetically: "It's all Sui'er's whim, which makes everyone worry and anxious." In the future, Lu Sui'er will never walk around, hurry back to Beijing! ”

The rest of the way, he joined the brigade and drove back to Beijing.

In the cold winter season, Sui'er's return to the palace caused a shock in the palace. When Yin Li got the news that Sui'er was not dead, she was already so shocked that she was restless, although everything was arranged at that time, and there would be no trace of revealing it, but it was still the heart of Liu Ruiju who would be exposed, but she had been sealed as a beauty. Since learning that Sui'er is not dead, he has been careful of himself everywhere, and he has no chance to start.

Naturally, the emperor and the nobles returned to the palace, and the people in the palace had to go to the palace gate to greet them. Yin Li has one hundred and twenty unwilling, and has to lead the concubines to the upper west gate to meet them.

Under the bright sun, everything is like dust mustard, and it is obliterated as a little bit of red dust that is not worth mentioning. was so condescending, as if it was still on the mountain that day, and a cold heart suddenly swelled up. Sui'er entered the palace again, and a different feeling surged in her heart. Holding Liu Zhao's hand, she secretly made up her mind in her heart, I want the world to be prostrate at my feet, I want to hold the supreme power in the world in my hands, I want to protect myself, protect all the people I want to protect.

When the concubine entered the palace, she should not have gone through the Zhengyang Gate, but because she was with Liu Zhao, she entered the Zhengyang Gate with the emperor and came to the West Gate. Along the way, the palace gate was opened, Luan Yiwei and Yulin Jun guarded the outside of the city, and the maid wearing dark red robes and the maid in the white palace costume under the red dragon-like Zhubi palace wall stood with her hands down, quiet as a mud puppet, leading Luan to drive into the Sima Gate, the end door, and the door was not the door.

Liu Qing and others led the palaces to wait at the door of the company, and they all knelt down on the mountain and shouted long live. Liu Zhao took the officials into the palace, but Sui'er took the driver to the West Gate.

The red brocade carpet on the white marble steps stretched to the door, and at the end of the red carpet, there were waiting for the Yin glass crowd. Yin Li saw that only Sui'er came back alone, but she took the concubines to greet her, and her face suddenly became unsightly. But after all, as a queen, she always has to put on a noble and graceful posture, so she stands on the steps with a smile and is extravagant on the surface.

Sui'er slightly dressed a whole ring of clothes, stepped down from the sedan chair, heavy Luo clothes and brocade clothes, surrounded by Yingluo, it was very inconvenient to get off the sedan chair, and before the small inner supervisor sent the stool, the first appearance was already standing on the side, and naturally reached out to hold Sui'er's hand and hugged her to come.

When her toes touched the ground, Sui'er felt her heart sink again, and she returned to this cage-like palace. The fateful restraint held her fate, and the slightly cool pearl touched her cheek, and the ice gradually invaded the bottom of her heart. She walked steadily on the red brocade gold carpet and slowly walked towards the yin glass. The closer you go, the more desolate you feel in your heart, and you just hope that time will last forever, and this road will never be finished.

The imprint of time is cruel and distinct, the moment I vaguely saw the yin glass, the bottom of my heart suddenly stinged, Sui'er subconsciously closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already eager and expectant, as if there was unconcealable joy.

Sui'er bent her knees, "Concubine Deng Sui is here, and I wish the queen mother a holy body of good health and happiness." ”

Before her knees were fully bent, Yin Li had already held her up, and said with a smile: "Deng Guiren doesn't have to be polite, can you still struggle all the way?" Is this body good? ”

Sui'er shook her head, and the fingers she held firmly felt uncomfortable, which made people's hearts greasy with a layer of white greasy.

"Sui'er has recovered her health, and she doesn't feel tired when she looks at the mountains and rivers with the emperor all the way."

Yin Li's smile was a little stiff, and the groomed slender hand still pulled her and said: "As soon as the palace got the news, it was overjoyed, counting the days left and right and looking forward to the emperor and Deng Guiren for so long, I really want to live like a year." I didn't expect the emperor to take Deng Guiren to tour the mountains and rivers, wouldn't it chill us? He smiled disguisedly.

Xu has been standing in the tuyere for a long time, and Yin Li's fingertips are no less cold than Sui'er, Sui'er smiled: "Let the queen and the sisters worry about it." ”

Liu Ruiju looked at Sui'er with a cold smile and said: "The noble lady has lost some weight, and she should recuperate well after returning to the palace!" (To be continued.) )
